Pledge of Allegiance of the United States

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."


In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words "under God," creating the 31-word pledge we say today. Today it reads:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Section 4 of the Flag Code states:

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.", should be rendered by standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. When not in uniform men should remove any non-religious headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute."

DAY 5 - DAILY PRAYER (PRAYER TO END ABORTION) - MAY 29, 2010






Prayer to end abortion in the USA:


God, Our Father in Heaven:

We thank you for this country, and for our freedom. We pray for the wisdom to protect and preserve this freedom given by You without corruption. We pray for life and freedom for all your children, born and unborn. We seek your guidance to find a way to end abortion in the USA.

We pray for our government leaders, that they may protect and honor life from conception to natural death. That they may use their position of power to help the powerless. We pray for the clergy to have the courage to speak out, to educate the people. That they may lift up the unborn in prayer and provide good council to all that come to them.

We pray for the American people to speak out against abortion. To have the strength to share their stories and their pain in order to bring the light to those currently in the dark. Especially those who have experienced abortion personally, let them encourage others to make the right choice. Send your healing to those who are hurting and teach us how to be there for those in need. We pray for all women currently thinking about abortion. That they may find support from those around them - family, friends, even strangers but especially the fathers. May the fathers support and encourage the mothers to choose life.

We pray for a way to show the atrocity of abortion to all of America, to change hearts and minds. To break the chains of abortion, and for the dramatic conversion of all abortionists and abortion workers. May the scales fall from their eyes and may they see the innocence of life in the unborn and vow to protect it. Grant us ideas and talents to bring about a wide scale change of heart across America.


Amen.

DAY 5 - DAILY HISTORY (ABORTION) - MAY 29, 2010






RONALD REAGAN, JAN. 19, 1982, NEWS CONFERENCE:

I have been one who believes that abortion is the taking of a
human life...The fact that they could not resolve the issue of when life
begins was a finding in and of itself. If we don’t know, then shouldn’t
we morally opt on the side of life? If you came upon an immobile
body and you yourself could not determine whether it was dead or
alive, I think that you would decide to consider it alive until somebody
could prove it was dead. You wouldn’t get a shovel and start covering
it up. And I think we should do the same thing with regard to abortion.




GEORGE W. BUSH, AUG. 6, 2002, SIGNING BORN-ALIVE
INFANTS PROTECTION ACT H.R. 2175:
The history of our country is the story of a promise, a promise
of life and liberty made at our founding and fulfilled over the centuries
in our laws. It is a story of expanding inclusion and protection for the
ignored and the weak and the powerless. And now we extend the
promise and protection to the most vulnerable members of our society...
The Born Alive Infants Protection Act..ensures that every infant born
alive-including an infant who survives an abortion procedure-is
considered a person under federal law...The Born Alive Infants
Protection Act establishes a principle in America law and American
conscience: there is no right to destroy a child who has been born
alive. A child who is born has intrinsic worth and must have the full
protection of our laws...Unborn children are members of the human
family...They reflect our image, and they are created in God’s own image.
